Casey and I went to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to cheer on the Socceroos playing against Argentina, the world's second rated soccer team. Being the incredible sports fanatic that I am, this is something I had only ever dreamt of, hoped I could one day achieve, and on this day my dream was realized, right here in Melbourne. Okay, so I wasn't quite that excited but I was trying to hype myself up a little to match the $150 ticket price. For anyone who really cared about sports, it would probably be a drop in the bucket, but for me, it was an expensive little experience, an "oh yeah, I should probably go to a soccer game while I'm in Australia" kind of thing. I was actually blown away. Their incredible speed and fancy footwork was impressive to watch, and I enjoyed the game far more than I expected. I was immediately drawn to Argentina's #19, Messi. Within seconds, I, Jen Sorenson, picked out one of the world's top rated soccer players. What sports prowess. How DO I do it? The Socceroos took an honorable 1-0 loss to Argentina.
